Our take

In only 9 minutes, Israeli co-directors Uri Kranot and Michal Pfeffer manage to convey the emotions of war, death, remorse, love, and the cycle of life. This creative reflection on moral corruption and the loss of innocence is explored through innovative animation and live-action techniques.
